This includes namespacing of all items originally labeled

In addition, the functions sel_netif_sid and security_netif_sid
have been renamed because the namespacing would cause a conflict.
sel_netif_sid has been renamed to sel_netif_sid_by_index, and
security_netif_sid has been renamed to sel_netif_sid_by_name
This patch has a minor reject against the current security-testing tree.
However, I'm having second thoughts about the renaming idea. There are
a rather large number of documents, not to mention the userspace API,
that talk about security_compute_av() and friends, and thus I'm a bit
hesitant to render them all obsolete.
Changing the namespace from security_ to sel_ or selinux_ makes it more
difficult for Solaris and other non-linux systems which may be
supporting Flask, to be compatible at the library level with policy
management applications.
